considered an affectation, or just plain bad form

Saaaayyyy....Mebbe that's why I've never liked it.

But I likes the "laugh" emoticon. I likes all the emoticons....Find 'em very jolly. Guess I don't view it (the laugh emoticon) as an affectation....But LOL does seem affected to me.

Does this make me inconsistent?

If it does, I'm allowed, right? Being a woman an' all.
